Explanation RTE: Real Time Events

When a topic is labeled RTE, it is not an open topic. It is a real time event happening somewhere in the world. Users are not permitted to post in these topics unless otherwise stated during the RTE.

RTE's act as a passage of time. Just because a person stops doing something doesn't mean the world around them stops too. RTE's are generally cutscenes detailing something happening in the world at the moment, be it important or not.

RTE's will progress on their own and should be viewed as a countdown. When an important RTE is over, expect the events described in the RTE to happen whether anyone is ready or not.

So if an RTE is not finished, take all the time you can to get as much done before it is, especially during important events.
